Measurement and Modelling of Ice Rink Heat Loads Mazyar Karampour, mazyar@kth.se, TSUEM Supervisor: Dr.Joachim Claesson, joachim.claesson@energy.kth.se KTH, Energy Technology Department Rapport available at: http://kth.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:478941
Introduction: Energy Consumption in Ice Rinks More than 350 indoor ice rinks More than 300 Gwh annual energy consumption The biggest consumer: Refrigeration System Solution: less Heat Loads on the Refrigeration System
Method: Refrigeration & Heat Loads Analysis 2 Heat Load Calculations based on Heat Transfer Correlations and Field Measurements Condensation Convection Lighting Radiation Ice resurfacing Skaters Ground conduction Brine headers Brine pump Ice Evaporator Concrete Insulation NH3 Brine Evaluation the Performance of Refrigeration by ClimaCheck Measurements 1
Results: Energy Consumption &Heat Load shares
